Le Zinc taking applications now

It's another beautiful day today. This morning I did laundry and cleaned. Unfortunately I didn't have time to finish. A client called at 11, and then I had lunch plans with Abigail at one. We went to Le Zinc. The sandwiches were very tasty. Art posters cover the walls. There were few people eating in the restaurant, but a steady stream of people walked through the doors. They were hiring hostesses and buspeople. The hostess would give them an application, ask for a resume, then tell them she would be right with them. I'm not sure where the ad was posted, or if there was a particular time they were asked to appear. Soon, the restaurant was filled with people crouched over their applications.

Last night Lynda told me she has a friend who might be looking for a job for the summer. We passed a fish and chips place on 5th Avenue in Park Slope that was hiring. She said her friend might be a shoe-in (he's British). "Because he has the accent?" I asked. "Maybe," she answered. "Everyone in there has the accent." Posted by eku at June 21, 2004 6:04 PM
